Acer tree problems

Acer trees or Japanese maples are beautiful trees ideal for pots, not only because they are slow growing but also because they can very much be enjoyed by those with small yards or gardens despite the limitations their property might have.

Also, the best time to be repotting your Acer tree is at the start or end of winter.

Reasons for repotting an Acer

You may choose to re-pot your Acer palmatum for various reasons:

1. Japanese Maple Acer trees are often repotted to replace the fresh potting soil and provide it with fresh soil.

   This is an important process that facilitates these trees in getting the necessary nutrients they need to grow.

2. It is a norm for Acer trees to grow beyond the pot they are in.

   It is easily seen when the tree becomes disproportionately heavy at the top or you can simply see it outgrowing the container causing roots to emerge from different parts of the plant. With this, it is obvious it needs more space to grow and expand.

3. You can stimulate the growth of your smaller sized Acer trees by transferring them to a larger pot.
